    Dr Haffron is a great doctor, he explained things to me really well and made sure that I understand what he was going to do and what will happen next. He took some time talking to me, that was great. In these days, many doctors are not taking extra time with patients anymore. :)

    Dr. Heffron was amazing - I so appreciated the time he took, his dedication & explanations of my test results, treatment options, thoughts on approach, etc. He also had a great 'bed-side manner' - kind, funny, empathetic, great listener, lots of patience. I would highly recommend him to family & friends if they ever need a GYN. In addition, the gal who called to move my appt, the folks at the front desk & the gal who called to set up a referral were all terrific.

    Is there anything else you would like to share about your experience with your provider?

    I was very impressed with Dr Heffron's approach to me as a new patient, taking time before exam to chat & get to know me a bit. Office staff & nurse were very friendly.

    Is there anything else you would like to share about your experience with your provider?

    I appreciated the intuitiveness of the provider in regards to what my ultimate healthcare goals are relating to this area of medicine, and hours willingness to work with me and for me to meet that goal. Other providers in your practice didn't seem willing to put in the same effort. I wish I had started off with this provider from the beginning. I feel I would've had a much more positive experience overall during my pregnancy.
